Okay - so they technically weren't really steelhead as they haven't gone to sea and returned, but that would pretty much be the only difference in the fish being pulled out of the lake. They planted 2500 steelhead hatchery fish (rainbow trout), but these guys looked like they were on steroids! BIG shoulders, small heads - THICK fish that looked much more like salmon. Most are over 3 pounds and 15" in length.

My buddy pulled out a 22" 6 pounder yesterday afternoon! Everybody was catching - a boat would have been really handy to follow the school around.
